Little Nemo by Winsor McCay for April 02, 2015

Well, this is certainly on the edge, 100 years later.

What, not even airholes? Apparently attempted kidnapping is Impy’s Original Sin, and he’ll be paying for that a while.

It’s dream land slavery was legal there.

More like indentured servanthood. Not that Flip’s likely to get much work out Imp. But he’s here for the duration.

I have never before known the origin of The Imp, who does indeed become one of Nemo’s travel companions. (What a collection . . .)

We’ve seen before that the king of Slumberland has slaves. Giants holding up a roadway, for example.

I agree with Nemo. Cliffhanger!!

I’m still blown away just by the artwork. Look at what must have gone in to that castle in the last panel.

Imp beat Nemo to the silver screen, by the way. McCay’s first animated characters were Flip and his punk-haired attendant.
